Abstract

A hinge apparatus includes a first hinge unit having a first hinge shaft rotatably connected to a first electronic unit, a second hinge unit having a second hinge shaft with a hollow to connect a second electronic unit to be rotatable in a predetermined angle to the first hinge shaft, and a signal connecting unit inserted into the hollow of the second hinge unit to electrically connect the first and the second electronic units with each other. The signal connecting unit may be a coaxial cable. With this construction, when the electronic units are rotated in plural directions to each other, the apparatus can prevent damage to the signal connecting unit, which electrically connects the electronic units with each other, and can minimize EMI influence.
